JQuery Mobile - First Thoughts

In the last month, I have been playing with the JQuery’s Mobile library and trying to use it in my “To Do List” app that I use for work. Overall, its pretty easy to implement and use. It took about an hour to read the docs and code a simple example. The features I have been using include the list views and form fields.

Once I coded my app, I tested it on my Droid 2 phone and my Kindle Fire and overall it looks pretty good.

Some things that I wish that JQuery mobile had out of the box:

A date and time widget

Autocomplete

Better control of the shape and size of submit buttons

Drag and drop

I imagine these features are forth coming.

Once I get my app a little more workable, I will post some screenshots.
